Paul Reed

The Philadelphia 76ers waived Paul Reed.

Fantasy Impact

The 76ers brought in Andre Drummond in free agency to backup Joel Embiid. Reed will look to land a reserve role with another team.

Paul Reed scored 12 points with nine rebounds, an assist, and a block in the Sixers 109-105 win over the Thunder on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite Joel Embiid returning to the lineup, Reed still had a useable stat line in the game. He may not put up quite the numbers he had when Embiid was out, but he’s not going away completely either.

Paul Reed flirted with a double-double for the 76ers Saturday night, grabbing eight rebounds and chipping in 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3PT, 5-5 FT) while also blocking one shot and dishing out one assist in a 109-98 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

Reed continues a solid stretch cleaning the glass of late, grabbing at least seven rebounds in each of his last five games, while also chipping in 11 points in four of those five contests for the 76ers. The 24-year-old has continued to make the most of his opportunities on the floor whether starting or as part of the second unit, averaging 7.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 15.4% so far this season.

Paul Reed scored 14 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-4 FT) to go along with eight rebounds and two steals in the 76ers 106-79 loss against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Reed has scored in double figures in six of his past seven games. He has moved in and out of the starting lineup, but has remained in a big role whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Paul Reed scored 17 points with 11 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal, and three blocks in the Sixers 115-109 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Reed played well in the loss, putting up stats on both sides of the court. He’s been a serviceable fantasy asset while Joel Embiid has been out with injury, but if and when Embiid returns, Reed will likely fall back into waiver wire territory.
